1 Sorting Materials into Groups 4 CHAPTER Tips and Tricks Objects around us have different shapes, colours and uses. They are made up of one or more materials such as paper, glass, plastic, cloth, wood, metal, mud, soil, cotton, etc. Different materials have different properties. Many objects differing in usage can be made from the same material. There are so many ways to group objects. The process of sorting and grouping objects/things according to some basis is called classification. Materials can be grouped on the basis of their properties. Different types of materials have different properties such as appearance, solubility, transparency, conductivity and behaviour towards magnet etc. Metallic lustre: Some materials have shine on them called lustre. Metals are lustrons, e.g., gold, silver, copper, while non-metal have no lustre, e.g., gases, sulphur. Hardness and softness: Some materials cannot be compressed or scratched easily and are hard, e.g., iron, copper. Some are soft, e.g., cotton or sponge. Some materials appear smooth on touching, e.g., glass. Some are rough, e.g., stone. Solubility: Water plays an important role in our life. Some substances are soluble in water, i.e., disappear when added to water in limited quantity, e.g., salt, sugar. These are soluble in water. Substances like chalk powder, sand settle down when added to water. These are insoluble in water. Similarly some liquids mix with water, e.g., ethyl alcohol, vinegal. Liquids like mustard oil, kerosene form a separate layer when mixed with water. These are immiscible in water. Gases like oxygen dissolve in water to a very low extent. Among insoluble substances, heavier ones sink and lighter ones float on the surface of water. Transparency: Substances through which things can be seen are transparent, e.g., glass, air, etc., Wool, metals, etc. are opaque through which things cannot be seen. Through oily paper we can see only partially. This is called translucent. Combustible materials burn in the presence of air. All metals are good conductors of heat. Wood plastics, etc. are non-conductors of heat. Gases are poor conductors of heat. Materials which are attracted towards the magnet find uses in electronic devices. These are called magnetic materials. Things are grouped according to similarities/ differences in their properties for convenience to remember. Formative Assessment ORAL QUESTIONS 1. What kind of containers shopkeeper use to keep eatables? 2. Name a common name of an object in your home made of wood. 3. Name a group of materials that conduct heat or electricity. A 38
